Nier Replicant - Before You Buy

Nier Replicant (PC, PS4, Xbox) is a sort-of remake of a cult classic. How is it? Let's dive in.

For me this video was "Nier Replicant - Reaffirm your decision to purchase while you wait for the game to download"

[celfhelp]

yoko taro is one of the very few creators who fully grasps the potential of video games as a storytelling/commentary medium, and i pray that the fresh success of Automata and Replicant lead to him having more, even bigger opportunities to contribute his brand of good to the world

[suryamani]

Bold of you to assume I already haven’t bought it

[TSketch]

Time for the old Nier to get a second chance in the spotlight and get the love it deserves

[bearsamuels]

This really should've been started with "As usual I'm not Jake Baldino"

[Sterlingr]

A classmate in college kinda summarized NieR the best during a literary analysis project they did on the game. SPOILER WARNING JUST IN CASE: NieR takes the Legend of Zelda formula and explores the idea of - what if Link's journey ended up making the world a worse place without him realizing it?

Became a fan of the series after automata. Can’t believe I missed this back in the day. So glad they remade it so I can experience it. Music is beautiful.

Falcon: I'm a huge fan of this game and the series!

Proceeds to horribly mispronounce the main character's names.

[RevanMaverick]

Playing it right now. I'm a huge fan of the first Nier and actually prefer the music, story, and characters in Nier Replicant more than Automata. The only thing that was holding it back was the combat so I'm very happy that it now feels great in this remaster!

[jobanhify]

I need a remake of drakenguard 3... Zero is a badass character

[jefferycarnes]

I'm hoping they remaster the Drakenguard games. The first game was released all the way back in 03.

[Rocker]

I can't wait for Automata fans to come back and enjoy this masterpiece

[Saiyan]

I don't even know why I'm here, I preordered and have no regrets. It's an amazing game

[Chill_Mode_JD]

Hey Jake and Falcon, you guys rock! My 10yr old daughter and I always look forward to the daily uploads! Thanks for giving us Dads a way to connect and inspire our little ones... 🤘🤘🤘

He forgot to mention that Drakengard was the lead up to Nier replicant since Drakengard is part of the franchise.

[chekote]

The one thing I would warn about: make sure you save often and in multiple slots. The game has a point where it cuts you off from the first part of the game making it impossible to complete any quests you didn’t finish. I fell into that trap and had to start from scratch…

NieR was originally released for the 360, or NieR Gestalt, NieR Replicant was released for the PS3 and was Japan exclusive.
The game is called NieR, and to make the difference between the brother and father characters one is called Gestalt and the other Replicant.

Replicant didn't leave Japan so there was no need to to give a subtitle to the worldwide release.

Ahh yes, CAIN & EMUL...

I hope this game gets all the recognition it deserves, because Nier Automata is the most underrated masterpiece I've ever played.

[shierubea]

Nier: Kaine!
Emil: Kaine!
Weiss: Kaine!
Literally everybody: Kaine!
Falcon: CANE
